Donkey Serenade Lyrics

There′s a song in the air
But the fair
Señorita
Doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air!

So I′ll sing to my mule
If you're sure
She won't think
That I′m just a fool
Serenading a mule!

Amigo mio does she not have a dainty bray
She listens carefully to each little word we play
La bella señorita
Si si la mi chachita
She′d love to sing it too
If she only knew the way
But try as she may
In her voice there's a flaw
And all that my lady can say
Is "I-ah!"

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

There′s a light in her eye
Though she may try to hide it
She cannot deny
There's a light in her eye!

Oh, the charm of her smile
So beguiles
All who see her
That they′d ride a mile
For the charm of her smile!

Amigo mio is she listening to my song
No no mi muchachita
How could she be so wrong
La bella señorita
Si si la señorita
If she knew all the words
Well maybe she'd sing along

Her face is a dream
Like an angel I saw
But all that my darlin′ can scream
Is "I-ah!"

Señorita
Donkey-sita
Not so fleet
As a mosquito
But so sweet
Like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
You're the one for me!
